Graduate Degree Requirements

The MAE Graduate Program Membership reviews the degree requirements for MS & PhD students on a regular basis and determines what requirements students must fulfill to successfully earn their graduate degree. Students must follow the degree requirements that were in effect during their first quarter of enrollment, although the department will allow students to petition the Graduate Adviser for Continuing Students if they would like to change their degree requirements to the most current year’s requirements. Please note that students cannot petition to change their degree requirements to any year before they were an enrolled graduate student.

For new applicants, please refer to the most current year’s degree requirements for an idea of how your degree requirements will be structured, but know that you will need to follow the approved requirements for your year of admission and will need to adhere to any changes that may be made.
